Venedictos would hang onto the holy symbols, if only so he can figure out how to separate out the Shelyn symbol and "purify" it somehow.
Abe tries to touch the poltergiest.
I will take the handaxe, I forgot we had it.
Round 2
I attack with the handaxe.
Attack:
Damage:
A harsh purplish-white light briefly fills the infirmary as Aerys sends a bolt of pure force arcing and spiraling unerringly towards floating apparation.
Venedictos will let fly again with another lightning arc.
Touch Attack: (into melee)
The bolt flies wide and sends dust raining down from the ceiling at the back of the room.
Ricven continues to run, screaming, for the front door.

Aealeanor and Ricven, you are frightened, not panicked. Also, it only lasts for two rounds after which you are shaken.
Abernathus's hand glows with holy energy and he hits the poltergeist. Aerys also hits it with a bolt of force. Ad'ifaah's swing misses, but the poltergeist visibly shies away from her handaxe.
Poltergeist:
all three vs. Ad'ifaah
Sharp implements fly from all over the room and strike at Ad'ifaah, but they miss or bounce harmlessly off of her shield and armor.
Come on you ugly ghost. Time to fine permanent rest.
Seeing the ghosts fear of the axe, Ad'ifaah continues swinging at the creature.
Attack-Cold Iron Handaxe:
Damage:
Once again, the unfamiliarity with the axe versus her preferred scimitar is apparent. However, the swing looks much better than before.
Abe tries to put his hands on the creature again.
Shol'a'saul realizes she is not very effective against the undead spirit and therefore concentrates on defending herself from its touch.
If/when my next turn comes around.
Back to the grave for you ghost.
Attack-Cold Iron Hand Axe:
Damage:
Shol'a'saul strides next to the evil spirit and reaches to touch it.
"That thing was like a haunt, only a little more focused. We need to find the likely source of its creation to put that poor soul to rest."
Ad'ifaah begins to search the room.
Perception:
Just like the bones in the furnace, in all likelihood, it is something in this room. Lets start looking.
Aerys nods. "Given the nature of this room, I would imagine its resident hardly died peacefully in one of these beds..."

A search of this cluttered room reveals a number of valuable objects—a pair of fully stocked healer’s kits, 3 vials of antitoxin, 2 vials of antiplague, 3 doses of bloodblock, 3 doses of smelling salts, 2 vials of soothe syrup, and 4 potions of cure light wounds. As to bones or some record of a possible source for the poltergeist, nothing is found.
Shol'a'saul's face lights up on seeing all of the healing supplies and eagerly lays claim to them.
Shol, any chance you can use the voodoo talk with the deceased machine to talk to this poltergeist and determine what is causing its unrest?
"I...I could attempt to contact the spirit who haunts this area. The questions we pose to it must be brief and requires a yes or no response." She looks to the others, "Should I attempt this now?"
Ricven sheepishly walks back into the room with the others.
"So, I guess you guys took care of it?"
"Well, let's think about this for a moment. The thing was afraid of the axe, which is extra potent against undead that died by losing their head, so what in this room could cause decapitation?"
Aeleanor reappears from the shadows and starts looking around as if nothing had happened.
Perception:
Ricven tries to make up for earlier by searching the entire room.
Aerys gestures to the three smaller doors "Shall we continue around the building's perimeter?" He tilts his head to the South wall and the double doors. "Or should we head more towards the center?"
The outside. If we go to the center, we are open to attack from anyone, or anything, still on the outside where we have not searched. By doing the outside first, we can only be hit from the middle. Thus, greatly decreasing our chance of being surrounded.
We head to the next room on the outer rim of the prison.

The 3 doors on the east wall are all closets. Opening the door to the South you find a 10' corridor that obiviously leads back to the entrance room. Taking the first door on your left you find a wide corridor that circles around two inner rooms and has several doors on the outer rim. Following Ad'ifaah's lead you open the first room to the right outside and find the guard's privy. A thorough search of this room reveals nothing.
Ricven forces himself to go ahead of everyone, determined to face whatever the prison has to throw at him. As he examines the new area, he realizes a long, narrow section has been avoided so far.
"Once we finish in here, let's check this area near the holding center for the prisoners. I don't want anything sneaking up from behind us."
Do you mean that I cannot give the hand axe to anyone else? Or that I cannot put it down and am wielding it until we get dispel magic or some other method of uncursing it?
Ricven takes a quick look around the stairwell to make sure there is no unusual activity.
"This is just the stairs. Let's examine these other little contained areas we haven't gone into yet and then go into the far western part of the prison."
Abe concentrates for a moment at the.door.
As they enter the room, Corey stops in mid track and blinks several times "What in Desna's name..?" The elf says, inching closer to the wall. He appears to be somewhat distraught. "Is that my name written on the wall?", he thinks. Rubbing his eyes briefly he looks again to see nothing. When he realizes his strange behavior he straightens up a little and brushes it off. "Sorry about that, I thought I saw.. another haunt."
